For anyone who has had someone attacked by a bully breed, PLEASE try to
understand that it was the HUMANS fault who turned him into a menace; NOT the
dogs. I have been attacked by a Golden Retriever!!! My friend was torn apart
by
a Lab. Remember the woman in California who was killed by the Presa Canarios?
The fault here lies with the humans who are breeding/training these dogs to
be killers...not with the dogs themselves.

Completely Right On...
I have been menaced by a Golden, and was bitten by a GSD who was utterly
insane. Even Ken, who is one of the best "dog men" I have ever seen, said
he had never seen the level of mental disturbance that was present in this
dog. I watched a GSD bite a friend of mine at a specialty show a few years
ago
FOR NO REASON other than my friend happened to be walking within range of
this menace and its owner who was full of excuses.
Do I blame the dogs? No, I blame the owners that look the other way "oh
he's having a bad day, oh he must have been abused as a puppy" or the others
that purposely encourage anti social behavior and do nothing to stop it and
nothing to educate buyers about their breed.
Any dog can bite, mercifully the size of the dog mitigates
damage....although one of the nastiest bites I ever saw was inflicted by a
Scottie.
Breeders need to pay strict attention to temperament, ELIMINATE fear biters
from a program, EDUCATE YOUR BUYERS . Breeders have a heavy burden of
placing dogs with correct situations, and have to overlook the monetary gain
or
loss......if a buyer goes to a breeder and is not educated about the ins and
outs of a powerful breed then DON'T SELL TO THIS PERSON. DOUBLY SO FOR THE
MACHO BUYERS....take puppies and don't walk , but RUN away from that mentality.
PEOPLE made these breeds,PEOPLE must be forthright enough to tell a buyer
that a given breed is NOT for them, PEOPLE must have the fortitude to euthanize
the problem dogs, and not pretend they can band aid a dog with an aggression
issue, particularly a fear based aggression. PEOPLE must be held
responsible....and the consequences must be HEAVY.
POWERFUL BREEDS must be treated with the same respect and gravity and
responsibility as a loaded gun. This is seen as an overstatement until a
disaster
happens.....and we hear the lamenting of the owners.."oh we had no idea"
HEAVY PUNISHMENT for dog attack......until the owners are hauled in and jailed
and fined, this problem will not be alleviated by anything like bSL
Kathy who will now go have some coffee, lol
